Gloria Gaynor

It is the ultimate karaoke hit. The song for every woman who has ever had a man do her wrong. You'd be lying if you said that there's never been a time you wanted to burst into song and yell at the top of your voice, "Go on now go, walk out the door. Just turn around now, cos' you're not welcome anymore", the tag line for any dramatic break-up.
I've always thought that it would've been so fun to have been growing up in the 1970s - it really was such a great decade for music. The soft spot that I have for disco music is largely the result of Gloria Gaynor's catalogue of hits, with "I Will Survive" being the prime anthem.
As a Gloria Gaynor, you can imagine my excitement when my Christmas shopping trip to New York in 2012 coincided with a gig at B.B Kings Blues Club. I was finally going to be able to hear those disco tracks that I had grown up listening to live and what an experience it was. 62 years of age at the time, Gloria proved that age really is just a number as she belted her way through a string of hits, including "Never Can Say Goodbye", which was a real crowd pleaser.
Since seeing Gloria Gaynor live, I've found few other gigs as satisfying and enjoyable. It made my longing to have grown up in the 70s even more pronounced but I'm proud to say that I am a disco fan and will continue to appreciate the timeless anthems that she has blessed us with.
